Dean’s Cup Quiz 2008

Date: 22 March 2008
Venue: Bilik Seminar SSMP

Boasting the theme of “Akademik Teguh Merangsang Jati Diri”, the Dean’s Cup Quiz 2008, also known as “Kuiz Piala Dekan”, was successfully held in SSMP’s seminar room, on the 22 March 2008. 10 groups of three which consist of 1st year and 2nd year students participated in this annual academic programme, which aims to improve the knowledge of food science and technology, as well as nutrition among the students in UMS. Directed by PMSSMP’s EXCO of Programmes and Academic, Mr. Haziq bin Hashim with the help of his secretariats, this event started at 10am with the preliminary round. Contestants were required to answer 30 questions in the preliminary round, which will determine if they can secure a place in the finals. Only three groups will be selected for the finals.

There was a lunch break after the preliminary round, while the judges marked the answer sheets of the contestants. At 2 pm, the three groups which obtained the highest marks were chosen, 2 groups of second year students and a group of first years. The finals was a question and answer session whereby the individual groups have to answer the question being read. If the particular group fails to answer question being asked, the same question can be attempted by the other groups. After an hour of question and answer session, Group 2 and 3 tied at 40 marks each while Group 1 emerged winners with 70 marks. A tie-breaking session was held and Group 2 won, having answered the question before Group 3 did.

The list of winners for Dean’s Cup Quiz 2008 are:
1st Prize:
Group 1- Ngiam Kiah Khim, Yin Yee Wen, Seow Chia Chia (2nd year)

The Dean’s Cup Quiz Ended with the Closing Ceremony with speeches from Dr. Chye, Vice Dean of Research and Innovation SSMP, as well as Programme Director, Mr. Haziq bin Hashim. The prize giving ceremony was next with Dr Chye presenting the gifts to the winners and Mr. Haziq presenting a souvenir to Dr. Chye. The winners of Dean’s Cup Quiz will represent UMS in the national level competition organised by the Malaysian Institute of Food Technology (MIFT). Congratulations to all winners and hopefully next year’s event will be a better one.
